Now that you mention it I recall having issues a couple of times when using APT in conflicts between the guider and imaging camera. I don't recall having the same trouble in SGP. The issue in APT is likely to have been finger trouble on my part, it was 18 months ago and I cant recall, but I can remember occasionally finding PHD trying to connect to the main imaging camera.

Do you need to manually start PHD2 using APT or does it open it for itself when you connect the equipment? I know SGP can be finicky if it does not open PHD for itself.

I have never had the issue using Voyager, firstly it uses the native ZWO driver for the imaging cam connection and second you do not open anything for yourself except for Voyager. You hit connect and it connects to the camera, opens PHD2 and connects the equipment, connects to the mount, opens and connects to your planetarium program if you use one etc.
